Sounds like you need to look in the back of your pantry for some canned food....does your library waive fees for food bank donations? I just had some fees a couple of weeks ago, and some old cans of green beans and corn took care of it!

Look at it this way, you've probably read way more than $20 worth of books so it's still cheaper to use the library you're just paying your dues. You better pay it though the library in Hawaii sent my $13 library bill to a collection agency and they put it on my credit report!
